Try :
[[
shell-prompt>texmacs -debug-all {Carriage Return}
_
]]

It gives you a quite furnished (although incomplete) trace :

No, there are no external tools necessary for operating TeXmacs, nor to 
debug it.

No, there is no such file.

What you can do is use the command line option -g to set the
geometry. You can use :
[[
texmacs --help
]]

yo get a list of all the available CLI options.
